" The longest uninterrupted debate on record Was recently brought to a close' by the New Zealand House of Repre lentetivrs. It had caused a continuous litting of seventy-six hours, entirely circn up to the discussion of a representa tion bin. Yet tho debate was not fin-, ished then. The records of the New York police courts present some remarkable facts a showing the increase of crime in the city during the. past year. An army of 85,000 persons wero arrested during the hist twelve months, or an increase in the num ber over the preceding year of about three per cent. Of that number about 65,000 were males and 20,000 female, Fifty-eight thousand persons were tried. One hundred men and twenty-two women attempted to kill themselves, most of, them by pistol shots and razors. Nearly 2000 men were arrested for grand lar ceny, while 250 females were held for the same offense. Six thousand women were arrested for being drunk, and 15,000 males for the same thing. Of this army of criminals France had about 400 na tives, Scotland 550, Italy 2500, England 19W, Germany 6000, Ireland 15,000 and America about 27.000. About $28,000 were collected for" fines. . One hundred and twenty women were arrested for being suspicious cbaracters.six for abduc tion and three for perjury. THROUGH DIXIE.

The hat, made in the same way, is pointed at ths top and has wings to protect the face and and would b apt to curtail activs exertion. . j RAILROAD OOKSTRUOTIOS. Biw Eacticsj of the South Being fettered By the Iron Hone, Birmingham people are becoming in terested in electricity as a motive power for street railroads. English capitalists are contemplating the completion of the Carolina, Knox ville & Western Railroad from Green ville, 8. C., to Knoxville. Over 1,000 hands are already at work on the extension of the Georgia, Caro lina & Northern Raih cad between Ches ter, 8. C, to Athens. Ga., contracts for which were recently let It is reported that the road-bed now being graded to Llano, Texas, will be inished within 90 days, thus making possible the active developments of the Bessemer ore deposits of that section. Mr. C. P. Huntington, who recently purchased the ChafUroi Railroad of Ohio, with a view to its extension, will shortly, it is understood, commence work on a 135-mile road from Richard son, Ky., to Pocahontas, Va., passing through the Big Sandy Valley and across the Cumberland mountains at the Breaks of Sandy. It is reported that work will shortly be commenced on a new railroad from Sril a IiddlesborouKh) to Unilth I'ifto bfivrrh rl anti khmim ousts Should a road be constructed, it will run through a rich coking coal country and down the Seouachcs- valley, creating a new line for shipment of coke from the Middlesborough district to a number of . . . . ine manuiaciure in ranroau construction j throughout that entire section is now ab- solutely certain. The Norfolk and Western Railroad are building to meet the Capt Fair and Yadkin Valley at or near 3It. Airy, N C. This new line of 65 miles, now under contract to George T.

Large parties from Washington, Balti more, Philadelphia and other points at tended the formal opening on Wednes day, after which a banquet was served at the Portsmouth navy yard. Cotton Bagging. A dispatch from Greenville, Ala., says: The members of the Farmers' Alliance in this portion of the cotton belt of Alabama are aiding to break down the jute trust, which is being an tagonized in every part of the State by the introduction of cotton bagging as a substitute for baling cottou. The latter system is a new one, and the farmers are as yet unable to prepare the material on account of the failure of the factories to supply the demand. Increased facilities are being rapidly adopted for turning it out, and before long cotton bagging will entirely supplant jute, notwith standing that a loss of 50 cents or $1 per bale is sustained by those who use cotton bagging. In some sections pine straw is being woven into bagging, which is said to be much superior to jute. It is not inflammable, and will protect cotton better than any covering yet brought into use. The Use of Hollow Bricks. One or the new features in building In New York city is the use of hollow! bricks for partitions and even outside! walls. These bricks are so moulded! thct when a wall is perfectly phunb, you, can drop a pebble right down in the! wall, there being hundreds of hollow spaces. Walls thus built are said to re sist heat and cold far better than the' solid kind, and they are about 25 per cent, cheaper. I hare seen sawdust sub stituted for sand in making mortar, and the practice is getting quite common. me great saving ox weignt maaes saw- dust mortar very appropriate for plaster- Snsr. but time will have to decide wheth- er anything can be as durable as the irg- ulation article.

HIS WHITE CAPTIVE AJIesra Eeepi a Pretty Girl Under Lock and mjbj tost Over a Year. Hxw Oklkaxs, La. Louise Schoc maker, a pretty blonde, only 15 years old, has been missing from her parents residence for over a year. All efforts to find the missing girl proved futile until Tuesday morning, when Sergeant Ken nv was Informed that a young white girl was kept a prisoner in a room in the rear of the barber shop on Felicity atiaeL between DttuIm mH Rawmn by a negro named Gua Reed. The po- nee repaired to tne puce, ana finding it dosed, broke open the door in the rear of the shop. As the door swung back a horrible sight greeted the eyes of the Sergeant. Standing in the centre of the room was ths frail form of a white girl, her na kedness being bid by a Uttered and torn undergarment. Her face was as pale as death, while her eyes gleamed in a most unnatural manner. As the Sergeant en tered the room she rushed toward him with, a wild cry, and clung tremblingly to his arm, repeating a half dozen times in piteous tones, "Save me, save me." Kenny attempted to console the poor creature, but her mind being somewhat unbalanced, she could not at once un derstand what he meant. It was only after repeated assurances that she was I now in fiendiy hands that the unfortu- I come quiet. She was much emaciated and had a look of terror on her still pretty face. . Hie policeman immediately secured clothing, and upon questioning the girl leaaed that she had been locked up in the room by Reed for about a year, and was compelled to live with him as his wife. Sergeant Kenny immediately sought Reed, found him in the shop, and placed him under arrest. The cul prit was taken to the station and char ges preferred against him. N. Y. Sun. A Baseball Pitcher Oiells a Revelt The ambitious subjects of King Kala kaua of Hawaii attempted to overthrow the Government the other day. .They attacked the royal palace- with a crowd of valiant ragamuffins at their heels, and made a dangerous demonstration with a brass cannon or two. . But the martial King, who had' been "taking in the town' with some boon companions, and who, thereforoyjiad escaped being cooped up in the palace, rallied the Honolulu militia-and prepared to do- or die. The rebels were soon driven to cover in a bungalow, where they waited for rein forcements. Tho civil war in Hawaii was at a standstilL Bothparties rested on their arms. At this crisis. some follower of, ths King suggested -dynamite. It was a happy thought. Dynamite was procured and put in bottles along with a great deal of ominous scrap iron. The next ques tion was: How should the dynamite be brought in contact with the rebels? The distance was too great for an ordinary man to hurl the bottles and no one could suggest any other way to explode their contents in the proper place. Then bis Majesty Ealakaua spoke.. 4Bring," he said, "the pitcher of the Honolulu Baseball Club." The pitcher was brought. ' He had learned his art from Captain Anson? men, when those Chicagoans sailed around the world last year. He hastened to put a few bottles of dynamite where they would Mo the rebels ths most harm. Many were killed and wounded by the explosions. The -rest' surrendered. This is the first armed rebellion, ever out down by a baseball player. We live in a frivolous age. Even war has its humorous side in Honolulu. Chicago Aw. - ' Fortune Telling by the Tlsujer Nails. Fortune telling by means f the finger nails, onychomancy, as it is .called, was not uncommon in ancient times. The practice was to rub the nails with oil and soot or wax, and to hold up the nails, thus prepared, against the sun, and upon the transparent horny Sjubstance were supposed to appear figures or char acters, which gave the answer required. In more recent times, people have been found predicting by means of the sails of the hand, and tel&ag tbe disposition of persons with certain descriptions of nails. However absurd It may appear, we shall give examples of fhk coper- rtition : A person with broad naDs is of gentle nature, timSd nd bashfnl , Those whose nails grow into the llesh at the points or sides are given to luxury. A white mark on the sail bespeaks of rsis fortune. Persons with very pale sails are subject to much infirmity of the llesh, and persecution by neighbors and trieods. People with narrow rxsfls are ambitious and ooarrelsotBe. Lovers of knowledge and liberal sentiment hare round xxxllf. olent people have generally fiemhy n.: Small nails indicate lxttiaea of mt j obstinacy and conceit, grfm chopersons are distinguished by their pale or lead-colored nails; and choleric, martial men, delightrnjr in war, Inrve red and Knotted nsili.
